Installing Your Washer

DRAIN FACILITY

The recommended height of the standpipe is 18 in/46 cm. The drain hose must be routed through the drain hose clip to the standpipe. Standpipe must be large enough to accept the outside diameter of the drain hose. The drain hose is attached at the factory.

FLOORING

For best performance, your Washer must be installed on a solidly constructed floor. Wood floors may need to be reinforced to minimize vibration and/or unbalanced load situations. Carpeting and soft tile surfaces are contributing factors in vibration and/or tendency for your Washer to move slightly during the spin cycle.

Never install your Washer on a platform or weakly supported structure.

LOCATION CONSIDERATIONS

Do not install your Washer in areas where water may freeze, since your Washer will always maintain some water in its water valve, pump, and hose areas. This can cause damage to belts, pump, hoses and other components. Operating temperature should be above 60°F/16°C.

ALCOVE OR CLOSET INSTALLATION

MINIMUM CLEARANCES FOR CLOSET AND ALCOVE INSTALLATIONS:

If both Washer and Dryer are installed together, the closet front must have at least an unobstructed clearance of 72 in2 or 465 cm2. Your Washer alone does not require a specific space clearance.
